Do the metal bars roll on this rack when the shoes sit on top? I got it used from a friend and the shoes don't stay on b/c the metal bars rotate.

Mine stay just fine. I have mostly boots on the top racks, but I haven't had any problems yet!

They are kinda like the brakes. If too much weight is put into the cart (like a child climbs in) it pushes the bars down so the cart cannot move....its a safety feature. We have carpet and the cart rolls just fine on carpet, so don't worry, the bars won't affect the performance of the cart.

Absolutely! It was the last thing I put on when I put it together but it stands up fine without it. I have the wheels on but find I just remove the bags and do not roll it around. Hope this helps!

Mine works fine, but I did need to adjust the screws that tighten and loosen the mechanism that slides on the vertical rails. I have no issues with racking the bar or with play and tilting.

Yes, the rack holds up very well. I have it expanded as far as it can go and have 6 pairs of shoes on the top and bottom levels of the rack. I have 4 pairs of boots on the top rack and it has held up great!

Yes the bars lock into place well when installed correctly. I recommend checking for looseness every once in awhile. I use a yakima bike rack on the bars and it holds just fine. Best.

I have this shoe rack, and I did not have any problems with the wood splitting after the screws were in, halfway or all the way.

When i first started using this rack I had to re-tighten the Allen screws that hold it to the bike a few times...I noticed if I got too much speed downhill or in the wind the rack could move causing an imbalance...once I got it adequately tighened down I havent had this problem.

It wobbles from side to side a bit... That doesn't stop it from rolling smoothly but it does make it hard to rack because there are not many holes to hook the smith bar onto and if he bar is leaning it may make it difficult to latch the bar safely. But if you use the safety stops then they will protect you if you can't hook the bar on and save you from harm. But no it does not move dead even there is some side to side movement

my rack is sitting on a concrete floor and it does move a little bit when you got heavy weight to rack.Putting some weight on the rods at the rear of the unit will take care of that.

We did not overly tighten ours as we didn't find a need to. We did tighten it snuggly enough so it wouldn't turn easily. It did move a bit once after it was bumped but it wasn't a problem to move it back. I would suggest you contact the company if you feel yours is having a problem..

No need to bolt to floor, as it is heavy metal and well balanced to hold the bars and wight without tipping over. I had the same question, but chanced ordering th rack. It is a solid piece of equipment that I am proud of. Solid, sturdy, and stable. Very pleased with rack.

I'm not so sure if this are really Rubber Wheels? why? simply because if they really were Rubber they would be FLAT couldn't hold the weight put on them. I use them everywhere, I have not had marks or scratches on my floors I use them on cement and on Laminate floors. no problems on my side. But like the law of things? try it on a piece of what ever you are going to use them on and see for yourself. I'm very happy with how they work and hold the weight and they do not go flat if left on the same spot a long time. I have not moved the shelves for a period of 8 months the last time and when I moved the rack it rolled. :) hope it helps...

The top part of the rack is steady, but I've noticed it's a little wobbly if I've got it piled high. Still can hold them without problems.

Yes. The picture is accurate. The size of the heel, or no heel at all, makes no difference in how the shoes hang on the rack.

You can use it ,but mostly for light shoes.Also if you size 11,you might end up taking once row out.Im size 10,and most of the rack i use for my daughters shoes.mine are usually on the bottom)))

yes to hold them on the rack, but need to stabilize the front wheels from twisting/steering.
